Weight Room

Minutes
9/30/04

Those present:   Sharon Brown, Dr. Salisbury, Darlene Francis, Sandy Brubaker, Chip Hare, Michelle Hertz

Those absent:  Larry Dragosavic, Brent Adkins, Chris Sargent

Team Leader:  Darlene Francis

Charge of team:  To study policies and procedures impacting the operation of the college weight room, including hours of service, staffing, safety concerns, and equipment maintenance and replacement.

Time line:  October 2004 

Next meeting:  TBA 

Minutes:

  1. Darlene gave an overview of what has been accomplished to date in the weight room. 

    • A camera has been installed at the entrance to the weight room with the monitor located at the Welcome Center.  The quality of the transmission has been problematic, but will be addressed.

    • We have been unable to implement the buzzer system for access to the weight room and have been trialing leaving the door open.  Chip reported that the only problem he has encountered is that if the door has not been unlocked before 8 am, the Welcome Center does not have a key to open it. 

    • The log for sign in is being used.  To date, 23 entries have been logged.

    • A telephone has been installed.  Signs posted in the room inform users that the phone is to be used to report any emergencies or equipment issues.

    • During Fall orientation, students were informed of hours of operation and procedure for use of the weight room facilities.

    • Instructions for safe use of the equipment have been attached to all aerobic equipment.  Rules for weight room use also include instructions for participants to call Student Health Services if further instructions are needed.

    • Signage at entrance to the weight room warns users to evaluate any health problems and consult their physician prior to initiating any exercise regimen.  Target Heart rate calculations are also posted throughout the room.

    • Initial inspections of weight equipment were done by Bill Meyer.  The issue of replacement still needs to be addressed.

  1. The team discussed that our next focus needs to be on replacement and upgrade.  Sandy reported that there is a possibility that the weight room might be expanded as part of the new building project.  It was suggested by Chip that before we plan for future replacement or upgrade, that we should survey users to find out what they would like to see in a fitness facility.  Sandy indicated that a survey would help in the budgeting process.  Dr. Salisbury also suggested that perhaps we could look into any possible grants that might be available for equipment.

  2. Assignments:

    • Sandy and Darlene to develop user survey.  Draft of survey will be sent to team members for review.

    • Sandy to talk with Brent regarding opening of weight room door before 8 am.

    • Darlene to work with Bill on equipment maintenance logs and camera issues.
